Description

[Matěj Cepl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008043010 Fedora/3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9 Firefox/3.0b5
Build Identifier: thunderbird-2.0.0.14-1.fc9.x86_64.

I use thunderbird with an imap account.  Often, when I start thunderbird, it
will show an empty inbox and have to re-download all of my mail messages.  As I
have thousands of e-mails in my inbox, this takes a really long time.

I have also run into another issue which may or may not be related: Often, when
deleting an e-mail message, the next e-mail message becomes blank and shows a
date of 1969.  If I open a different folder and then go back to my inbox, the
blank message is ok again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.see above
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
some messages are blank and some have weird date as well.

Expected Results:  
no problems

12/31/1969 7:00pm is what tends to appear in my bosses spam box regardless of it's deletion.

I have the same problem.
I am on a MAC with Leopard. And my university account gets mit these empty messages from 1969 as well. Even If I delete them in my trash, they reappear in my inbox if I go back to it.

I get them since 1-2 weeks now and it is annoying. Especially if the message is marked as unread and I have to go through all my messages in my inbox to find it!!

Usually it comes along with double emails and its hard to find the right one to delete. :(
